NY State Police haven’t used aircraft in speed enforcement in decades, despite signs (report) – newyorkupstate.com

If you’ve driven around New York state, you’ve probably seen a sign that says “State Police aircraft used in speed enforcement.”

But the warning is not true and hasn’t been for decades, according to a new report.

New York State Police told WGRZ that troopers have not “conducted aircraft speed enforcement since the late 1990s,” despite signs still up on the Thruway and other Department of Transportation-maintained roads warning drivers that they could get a speeding ticket from an eye in the sky. The NYS Police’s aviation unit confirmed that none of their pilots have conducted aircraft speed enforcement, including their most senior pilot who has been with the unit since 2004.

Weather Update – September 15, 2022

Get out and enjoy this weekend before the rain πŸ€—

It’s not going to be long before it’s much cooler and rainy. The past few days should have been a wake up call for what is ahead.

Pleasant autumn afternoons always give way to cold winter days. But it will eventually come back around again to the spring time. But first months of high heating bills, snow and a shit ton of corrosive nasty road salt.

The moral of the story is get out an enjoy it while you still can. It’s going to be a nice weekend. I’m thinking Schoharie County and the Catskill Scenic Trail thought my mind could change.

Daily Update – September 15, 2022

Good morning! Happy Thursday. πŸ˜€

The weekend doesn’t seem that far away. Should be a nice late summer / early fall weekend, depending on how you look at it. Not much color yet locally, but why rush it? I’ll take the warmer weather.

Mostly sunny and 54 degrees in Albany, NY. 😎 There is a north-northwest breeze at 9 mph. πŸƒ. The dew point is 46 degrees. This morning is fantastic with the dew points.

Yesterday I dun good with getting my steps in πŸ‘£ but today was so dark so I didn’t get out for a walk before work. Yesterday though I did 17,000 steps and today I’m at 3,500 so far but I doubt I’ll get in 10,000 steps today especially if I work late.

I am thinking about taking tomorrow as a work at home day πŸ–₯ and then either working from Schoharie or driving out there mid day or after work and camping πŸ• while doing the Catskill Scenic Trail again. Although I’m not so set into that plan.
